Tom Brady Already Showing Signs of His Old Competitiveness in the Media l 2 PROS & A CUP OF JOE

so Tom Brady was on Fox Sports Radio yesterday he was on the herd with Colin coward which you can hear on many of these Fox Sports Radio Affiliates and um I don't know if he's still in roast mode uh but seems he like he hasn't come out of it well just I don't think uh on the pivot knowing's roasting too yeah well uh he was on the radio yesterday and I'm not sure if uh he's aware of the fact that you know some things you can and can't say on the radio we talked about walking the fine line line here on this show like we've got to be very careful about things we say sometimes you can get dumped and uh Tom Brady yesterday was discussing uh his approach to broadcasting now that he'll be uh the part of the the number one team with Kevin Burkhart this upcoming NFL season so let's listen to Tom bradio Tom Brady on Fox Sports Radio yesterday there are definitely parts to me that are hyper competitive and certainly they were as a player and as an athlete I uh I love that competition I relish that competition daily I didn't get if it was practice if it was a game if it was pingpong if we were playing trashketball in the in the locker room I wanted to win uh there's other parts where I feel like I've matured a little bit and I don't necessarily have to be absolutely competitive in everything it's a little more selective I think if I want to put effort into something then natural I'll be naturally I'll be more competitive at it because I'll invested a little bit of my time a little bit of my energy into it um certainly with a broadcaster I don't think for me it's about competition I think it for me it's about did I put everything I could into it and I did I give the fans everything that they tuned in for yeah and that's really how I'll end up gauging myself and and I'll have to look at myself at the end of every Sunday night going did I do a good enough job did I live up to the belief that fox had in me did I live up to the expectations of my teammates Kevin burkart and Aaron and Tom and Richie Zion and Rich Russo and our entire truck the entire team that's that's ultimately how I judge myself in that new role that's a guy getting prepared for the gig okay and also a guy very comfortable uh the wild card in the room cuz there was some speculation when Bruce arens did broadcasting for a year they're like how's this going to work he's got a bit of a foul mouth like how's how's Bruce Aran going to work he does have a little bit of a little bit man maybe it's maybe Brady's got that foul mouth it comes out too it comes out easy yeah came out on this show came out easy trying to figure out how that we had to dump it in fact we did we didn't right there though did we uh we did we had to dump it a little bit of a uh technical issue here probably should have been bleeped out so that they so that the people could hear it I think that it was and uh something went haywire there well Tom Brady deflated the the bleep out yeah he said shoot but a different word um I'm really fascinated and curious to see how he will be absorbed by the masses because he is the he has the ultimate trump card to any of the yahoos any of the folks that have an opinion on social media or to criticize whatever he does because he is the greatest of all time but before Tom Brady there was Joe Montana who was the greatest of all time and yet it didn't work out for him for whatever reason and so I am curious to see what the reaction will be what the criticism will be because you know that it's going to be out there and you know based on his affiliation with the Pats there's probably Pats fans who will love him some Tom Brady fans who will love him and maybe their Bucks fans who love him that are excited to see him but when you're as successful as he is when you're a good-looking guy is well spoken who's successful there's going to be plenty of haters out there too and given his style just the little bit that we've seen over the over the years you know it's really more when he became a Tampa Bay Buck he was kind of out in the public more at least you know press conferences and doing other things and now since he's retired I think he's going to be polarizing I think he's going to be very polarizing with the way he calls games because he's not going to be afraid of giving his opinion I I don't think he's going to be afraid at all of criticizing and that's really what that job entails so I'm I'm fascinated to see how this is all going to work out how it's going to be absorbed which dag on on X or whatever else or Instagram or something that's going to have a comment to make about something he said where would they be uh sending that comment from it could be from their parents basement it could be profile picture where wherever they're living you know where they feel like they're really big in their Community but they're but no one really knows them you know outside of their quote unquote Community it's they're all it's all in things like that but it doesn't matter that's the funny thing is it doesn't matter who these guys are and Tom Brady is the greatest of all time there will be people who try to take issue with something that he says which is is always fascinating to me it's like why do you care that much but people do they love sports they love their team they're willing to defend them even versus a guy who's won seven Super Bowls they're also going to be quick to judge they're gonna because anything you do and I'm sure you guys you guys have called games before and done radio before the first one in comparison to the one you do you know in week 10 or the different yeah and so if he comes out and maybe it's a little rocky the first game there's going to be people that go and they gave his spot gave Greg Olson spot to him for this and it's like dude give him a little bit of time I I know what he's making I know who he is I know there's anticipation but it's going to take him time to probably find his rhythm through all this stuff and he's probably going to get significantly better through the course of the season I think he's finding that rhythm in that time now like Tony Romo's gotten worse I don't I don't I would not even begin to compare the two of them for the simple fact that if you know who Tom Brady is you know his preparation is going to be through the roof that's why I think he's just going to get better and better I was going to say there there might there might not be more Polar Opposites well that but that's my point is that Tony Romo it felt like because of that he's he's gone in the opposite direction whereas Brady if he struggles week one I think he's just going to get better and better throughout the year can I be honest though too I feel like there's a lot of folks behind the scenes who pushed Romo to be favorable and I'm not going to completely out everything but there was such a strong push behind the scenes for him to be liked and for him to be like hey he's our number one guy because of the move that CBS made was controversial Phil Sims had the greatest Super Bowl performance ever ever arguably I I guess you want to put it that way and you moved on from a guy who's had been doing a good job who did a good job at least that's my opinion of it for a guy who had never I mean that job entails having to call a Super Bowl and there's a there's probably a common thought out there that like hey how how can you call this if you've never been to one so it's controversial like people feel like if you're in the broadcast Booth you you have to have at least been able to say you've been there maybe not even win it but at least been there there's a lot of Executives a lot of people who feel that way and so when they went with Romo he obviously didn't have any of that in his history I mean again the success of Tom Brady compared to Romo is is not even comparable clear yeah not even I mean and and and even you could go a step further like look how Tom Brady takes care of his body how he trains how he prepares everything else how he portrays himself it's it's not even comparable so you have this very stark contrast between the two where when Fox hires Tom Brady like there's no justification like they don't need to come out and say uh Hey guys uh we we need to like Tom Brady he's gonna be really good at this like they don't need to do that his resume immediately speaks for itself it's one of the reasons why he warrants what he's getting paid and why you know Executives will go to this make this move because they know that to the audience he comes in with immediate credibility even though he's got no experience of doing this job because of what he did in the prior job that he's talking about on TV and whereas with Romo there's still a lot of skepticism at least when when he initially took over the job and so there was a lot of people behind behind the scenes who are pushing to make sure you talk favorably make sure you're excited make sure you talk about how great it's going to be how great he's going to be there was a lot of that going on and then as you heard him do the job and as things wore on you're like wait a second this isn't really what we kind of thought we were signing up for here you know I mean I think he missed a game for a golf tournament if not not mistaken I'm almost positive did yeah I think he uh he qualified for some tournament and missed a game and uh God I want to say that was like two or three years ago so I I can't imagine Tom Brady's gonna pull that off but I do also think this all the love I was say you almost said my name in there I was like don't worry one I'm not good enough at golf to actually make something where I would be in that situation and two um yeah you're you're my Brady okay I'm loyal that's cute I'm loyal I I think you're actually misconstruing the story by the way he didn't end up missing the game I think he would have ended up missing the game but he missed the cut oh so I understand I think this was like five years ago but at least this was like the it was a Vikings game I think that that was what it was well I think to the to Brady's po to to to Jonas's point I I think it's still the idea that he's not all in right there's still the there's still the idea that if he made the cut he would have missed the game so I just don't I don't I know that there there everybody is is and at their level they have a a level of of you know multiple things that that you're doing all right you're diverse and what it is you have going on I just don't think that Tom Brady is going to at the point in time which he starts calling games will have anything on his plate that is more important than his focus and him nailing what it is he's going to do and calling these games I just do not just knowing how he is and the times that I I mean the dude is as competitive as compet like I've seen I've been at Preakness with him the way they they they Gamble and the way they hang out all them dudes together it's it's super competitive don't you think that the fact that Greg Olson getting all this love and Greg Olsson did a great job and the fact that there is a lot of discussion out there about why would you do this yeah like you don't think Brady's hearing all that going oh you don't think I could do that good of a job like if he's that competitive that's just going to bleed over into this are you say he's got the red ass hell yes all he's been hearing is I mean for for all of this you're going to give up all you know Greg Olsen's job to Tom Brady what is like Tom Brady's never done this before there just there's no guarantees this is going to work out people are pointing to all these other examples of guys like Drew Brees and Joe Montana and all these other guys that it didn't work out I just I think em Smith he's GNA find a way and will himself to be great at this did y'all hear Jerry Rice in the booth was Jerry Rice in the booth too oh yeah oh my God I remember EMT Smith go look up Jerry Rice in the booth so one of the hardest things I think is you have to have a chip on your shoulder I I I really do to to be as aggressive to really have the desire to want to continue to keep pursuing it like you did in the previous career and and and look some of these guys make so much money nowadays it's like it's like an afterthought of what they're doing it fits their lifestyle it helps pay some of the bills coming in right still gives them some notoriety State around the game but it's not everything to them yeah and I think to your point about Tom Brady like he's just not wired that way right like he's it's almost like the Jordan documentary where he's making up things to be motivated about yeah like I I would bet he's got like you don't you don't think I deserve to be paid $ 37.5 million like he might have that up on a mirror somewh he proba pays somebody like pays his kids like to talk trash talk trash to him
